*Independent State of Cuckfield https://cuckfieldstate.org/
The Independent State of Cuckfield is a charitable organisation which was established when the Donkey Derby was no longer able to be held. Cuckfield declared “UDI” and established its own mayor – a role completely outside local and national government.
The mayor is elected annually in what has been described as the most corrupt election in the world in that whichever candidate raises the most money wins the election (1 penny equals 1 vote and there are no limits to number of times you may vote!)
The aims of the Independent State are to ensure the welfare of all Cuckfield’s citizens, young and old, and to protect the local surroundings. It raises funds through the mayoral election and distributes this to various organisations, groups and charities based in Cuckfield and the surrounding area, to the benefit of the community.
Cuckfield Local Market is held at Holy Trinity Church.
Open 09.30-12.30, every 2nd Saturday of the month.
We are a not for profit group working in partnership with the local parish church and any money we make from stallholder fees is donated to local charities/local projects.

Prospective stall holders (must be food or drink related) are encouraged to contact via cuckfieldlocal@gmail.com or message us on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/CuckfieldLocal
